What difference does it make if Im in an accident with a privately owned railroad company or one that is operated by the government?
Government-owned railroads are subject to “tort claims acts” for injuries caused by the railroad. Tort claims acts usually require that the railroad be given notice of the injury within a very short time-as few as three days after the accident-and won’t allow a lawsuit to be filed unless this notice is given.
